Birthday Finale!

I ended a 3 day birthday run at BFF Briley's house!

I rocked a mermaid suit and joined Briley in the 4 year old club.

Briley and I celebrated the same way we always do...

with McDonalds!

This whole photo is just hilarious

Please study all of our faces!

Briley and I both got some fancy new make-up for our "un-birthday"

This is both hilarious and dangerous!

So since she did I will do it too!

Thanks friends!

You are great!

A Tae Kwon Do Kind of Birthday

I took a cake to Tae Kwon Do to share with my buddies!

I kind of look like Joe Dirt but you get the idea!

Madilyn and I started Tae Kwon Do together

We are trained to take someone down

Master Dinh cut my cake with a sword

Just another reason he is awesome

And about the only person I listen to without question

Happy 4th Birthday to Me!

This is me on the day of my birth!

Couldn't you just eat me up!

Here I am waking Daddy up at 5:30 am

to remind him it is my birthday!

Let's get this party started....

Except we already partied in June

I had to have my birthday muffin!

I sent the 2 fools below on their way so that I could start my birthday scavenger hunt!

See you next year people

(You know because it is almost 2011)

I suited up in my 4 year old shirt

Got my 4 year old attitude and my fist clue....

Go to the place where you see Mr. John

You get a sucker, some gummies and a shot in your arm

You used to cry and roll around on the floor

You did that when you were 3 not now when you are 4

So we were off to see my pals at the Doctor Debbie's office

Miss Genan had another clue for me

And I got my shot

No sense in wasting a trip

My next clue said..

You visited this place when you were 1,2 and 3

You played Polly Pockets with Aunt Dede

Aunt Shelli was there with Baby Lee on the floor

You went as a baby and now you go when you are 4

So I went to the office to meet up with these pals

They had another clue

(And Mom is pretty sure Aunt Dede took me internet shopping)

Go to the place where you paint pottery

You have done it before but you were only 3

Now you are a year older you can paint something new

Something different from when you were 3 or 2

So I headed off to the pottery place and found anther clue

While I was there I got to whip up some pottery

Mom supervised

While Dad actually helped

The clue at the pottery place went a little something like this

To grow really big, You must eat good food

Bread, meat and veggies, To say no is quite rude

Go to the place you will eat 'til pop

There isn't a playplace, It's your favorite sub shop

So we hit the subway

(Uh oh caught eating the competition)

The clue at the Subway directed us to our last stop

You have been here with Mommy, Yaya, Nana and Aunt Bee

But that was only when you were 2 and 3

Daddy has never been here before

Maybe he will have a tea party now that you are 4

I informed him tea was for girls

So we dumped him and headed for the tea room

I wanted all these tea sets, but settled for none!

I did accept cake and tea!

Happy Birthday to me!

Being 4 is rough!

On the Eve of my Birthday...

I ate cake!

Because I am so confused when my birthday is it doesn't really matter when I eat cake!

Nothing is easy with these 2!

Stay tuned for my continuing birthday fun!

The aftermath...

The grandparents left and I had a Christmas hangover...

I slowly needed to detox from being in Indiana for a week

I had played with Nolan and other friends

Had the full attention of 4 grandparents and have generally been high on life for 2 weeks

I have been asking to bowl for a long time

So Mom and Dad thought it would be a good time

Plus Aunt Bee said she was a better bowler than I was and I DO NOT back down from a challenge

I got my shoes

"My Children" and I were ready to bowl

(Please note that my doll's name is Callie, like all my dolls, but I call her my children because she is not a baby she is big children doll)

I picked a ball

These two eventually tied with the high score

Awwwwwe

Dad missed a couple of frames due to work/phone issues

I bowled for him lowering his average but his mad bowling skills brought up his score and put him in 2nd place

Here I am congratulating him on a ball well rolled!

Sorry Trinity you are not as good as my dad!

But good try!

The we partied...

After all the presents were opened we had an evening of entertainment!

I provided a song and dance routine that made everyone cry it was so moving

(Or so out of tune and hilarious that they were laughing through their tears)

I love to perform!

Then we moved to a game of bingo

Then I passed out!

The parents and aunts and uncles played taboo

and had more episodes of laughing until the cried!

Great Day!

Hunt Christmas

The Hunts had Christmas on Sunday together!

Yaya and I played Santa

Yaya looked at the tags and I handed out all the presents

and assisted EVERYONE in opening their gifts!

Bob just paid the bill

Aunt Bee and Sweet T

Sporting new Patagonia and bearing gifts for me

Here I am overseeing the gift opening process

Meghan finally arrived thank goodness... I couldn't take it (waiting for her)

She brought me this blizzard maker that I wanted SO much

Mom said only she could get it for me because she worked there for so long

McDonalds needs to do a better job of marketing the McFlurry maker next year!

Uncle Rob got new shoes and we got a great chuckle at the variance in my gene pool!

Nana's foot compared to Uncle Rob shoe!

We ate TONS!

Goof Balls!

Then I provided dessert....

But since there were only 2 cups I declared Meghan and I would get the blizzards!

(Thank goodness Mom planned for this)

After Uncle Rob cranked for the 10 minutes required he got squat!

Merry Christmas

Christmas at the Lake!

Now we are dressed the same and she still doesn't look like me....

But Nana couldn't even tell us apart

Santa wrapped stuff here

Again Mommy made a mental note

Let the paper start flying!

Let Daddy start making memories!

Hmmm This looks interesting

Oh wait it is a coat tree

Moving on....

Do we look alike now?

It's from me Mimi

Poppy got a fancy calendar with pictures of me and Nolan!

A friend for my baby...

Who has on a creepy dress

Cool

Wrapped up the lake party with a little Barbie flying
